Bastrop, Tx–Following a long weekend of welcome rainfall across Bastrop County and the wider Central Texas area, Bastrop County commissioners suspended a months-long ban on outdoor burning Monday.
“It was a nice rain all over,” commissioners were told by Mike Fisher, Bastrop County Emergency Management Coordinator, who recommended lifting the ban.
Weekend rainfall ranged from one to three or more inches over much of the county with the largest amounts across the north and northeast parts of the area, according to weather reports. Some minor flooding was also recorded, said Fisher.
The heaviest rainfall was recorded in the Pin Oak Creek area in eastern Bastrop County.
